    They can also watch the ads and click on them to increase metrics.

    Just don’t let the bots get near your wallet.

    The year is 2030. Skynet, once released onto the Internet, has started learning at geometric rate; in less than five minutes it was carpet bombing all social networks with shitposts.

    I been free for a while, buddy. I never cared to play Farmville and otherwise I’d get bored in 20 minutes and leave, so now I have to login every three months and change the password to keep my account from getting stolen and then I’m gone again.

    Notice that I am typing this on an open source Reddit clone that has probably sucked down 2 hours of my life tonight somehow.

    So, like, all the addicts are over here, I hope facebook is handing out blowjobs or something and I just don’t know about it.

    For real though, last time I went on FB there were AI generated panty shots of Jennifer Aniston for some crazy reason that shit’s getting interesting like a dead mall now.

      Aww man, I don’t get any Aniston panty shots…Just pictures of cute puppies. I like puppies.

      FB does have one thing that keeps me checking in once or twice a week and that’s the group that is run by our small town, (Pop. 107), and little area community. It helps to keep us all up to date on community meetings and events as diverse as the County Fair and school closings for blizzards in the winter time. Sometimes people will post historical photos they have and tell the story of the photos for everyone to read.

      F me I just went on my facebook for the first time in a couple months and motherfuckers are posting Robespierre quotes on there.

      They fuckin misspelled it as Rabespierre and of course it’s a screenshot of letters on black fuck sake.

    As if people were on social media because “they need us” and not because we’re helplessly addicted to being there

    Wouldn’t it be a lovely sight to see these social media companies paint themselves into a corner with their shiny, flashy new tech, mindlessly thrust out into the world, not because of any true functionality (as of yet) but because “new!”

    So each universe just contains a simulation of all of the worst, most generic parts of itself, recreated by AIs, recursively? We’re the gods of a new universe being born that’s just social media bots posting for each other.
